At my cost of 8.16 cents per Kwh, this unit would cost 9.8 cents per 30 minutes at the highest temperature setting (.0816 * 1.2). I think my full size oven would cost much more than that. I think this unit would be economical for small meals. I hope this helps you.

The Air fryer is similar to a microwave, but it uses rapid air technology to cook your food, similar to a conventional oven but on a smaller scale. They also have air fryer (small counter top conventional) oven toasters. The price should be the same when using an electric microwave in your house. 
The price age range for an Air fryer... $40.00 - $120.00. The price range for a full conventional stove ... $300.00 and up.

Hi - While I don't know how much it will cost to use compared to an oven, I will say this - it cooks in no time at all. The oven is a bigger space, so you are heating up a bigger space and will probably need to cook with it for longer than using the air fryer. Also, the air fryer has a fan that is circulating the hot air - making the cooking time shorter. However, if you are cooking for a bigger group of people, you can fit more food into an oven. If it's only for 1 or 2 people the air fryer is great. It's really up to you to decide what works best for you. Either way - enjoy whatever it is you are cooking.

That depends on the cost of your electricity but lets see a 1000 Watt Microwave uses 1550 Watts and this unit uses 1200 watts or like 12-100 watt light bulbs, or an electric coffee maker is around 900 watts, your electric bill is based on KWH that 1000watts for an hour would be your cost so if rate is $.10/kwh so you can figure from there

Honestly, I really don't think it saves much time, so not much electricity, but haven't had it that long to tell.
